The AAI had rigged 28 cabins of 100 sq ft area each within the hangar and each cabin was supposed to be occupied by two officials. On June 28, 2016, TOI had reported that the AAI (which faces a shortage of staff quarters) had issued letters to about 40 controllers asking them to vacate the staff quarters and move to the Shobha Singh hangar in Juhu. The AAI had wanted them to move residence to a hangar in Juhu airport. Late on Monday evening, the affected lot received an email, which said that the deductions were carried out because they had refused to move to the accommodation allocated to them. “About 70-80 percent of our salaries were deducted, with no reasons given,’’ the official added. In the salary slip, under the ‘miscellaneous recovery’ category were deductions that ranged from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1.20 lakh. “On Saturday, when we checked the AAI employees’ services portal for our salary slips, we were shocked to see a meagre amount paid to us for the month of February,’’ said an official, requesting anonymity. All the 40 officials were transferred to Mumbai in the last few years from centres across India and many are posted as controllers at the perennially-short staffed Mumbai air traffic control. Mumbai: The government-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) has cut the February salaries of about 40 Mumbai officials by as much as 70-80% without issuing them any prior warning.
